Help for Depression: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

What is wrong with me? You may be saying this to yourself because there is not clear reason why living feels so painful. Depression can be unexplained, overwhelming and disheartening. Other times it is linked to a loss of a loved one or life transition.

Whether feelings of depression are situational or chronic, navigating it alone is like trying to swim against the current of a tsunami.

You need a rescue boat!

Receiving help can change the depression trajectory in a profound way.
